What to cook with zucchini: recipe for a hearty cake with cottage cheese
Zucchini is a fairly budget-friendly and versatile vegetable. Early varieties ripen in spring, and the season lasts until late fall. This product can be stewed, fried, and baked, but the best idea would be to make a simple and very satisfying zucchini cake that can feed a large company.
The idea of making a zucchini cake was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Vita (vita.serediuk).
